Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 17 / Thursday, January 26, 2012 / Notices
may be made by these species to avoid
the resultant acoustic disturbance, the
availability of alternate areas within
these areas and the short and sporadic
duration of the research activities, have
led NMFS to determine that this action
will have a negligible impact on the
species in the specified geographic
region.
Based on the analysis contained
herein of the likely effects of the
specified activity on marine mammals
and their habitat, and taking into
consideration the implementation of the
mitigation and monitoring measures,
NMFS finds that the Navy’s planned
research activities (and the resulting
total taking from the survey): (1) Will
result in the incidental take of small
numbers of marine mammals, by Level
B harassment only; (2) will have a
negligible impact on the affected species
or stocks; and (3) will have mitigated
impacts to affected species or stocks of
marine mammals to the lowest level
practicable.

Impact on Availability of Affected
Species or Stock for Taking for
Subsistence Uses
There are no relevant subsistence uses
of marine mammals implicated by this
action. Therefore, NMFS has
determined that the total taking of
affected species or stocks will not have
an unmitigable adverse impact on the
availability of such species or stocks for
taking for subsistence purposes.
Endangered Species Act
Of the species of marine mammals
that may occur in the proposed survey
area, six are listed as endangered under
the ESA, including the blue, fin,
humpback, sei, southern right, and
sperm whales. Under section 7 of the
ESA, the Navy initiated formal
consultation with NMFS, Office of
Protected Resources, Endangered
Species Act Interagency Cooperation
Division, on this survey. NMFS’ Office
of Protected Resources, Permits and
Conservation Division, also initiated
formal consultation under section 7 of
the ESA with NMFS’ Office of Protected
Resources, Endangered Species Act
Interagency Cooperation Division, to
obtain a Biological Opinion evaluating
the effects of issuing the IHA on
threatened and endangered marine
mammals and, if appropriate,
authorizing incidental take.
The Biological Opinion was issued on
January 20, 2012, and concluded that
the specified activity and issuance of
the IHA are not likely to jeopardize the
continued existence of blue, fin,
humpback, sei, southern right, or sperm
whales. The Biological Opinion also
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
concluded that designated critical
habitat for these species does not occur
in the survey area and would not be
affected by the survey. The Navy, in
addition to the mitigation and
monitoring requirements included in
the IHA, will be required to comply
with the Terms and Conditions of the
Incidental Take Statement
corresponding to NMFS’ Biological
Opinion issued to both the Navy and
NMFS’ Office of Protected Resources,
Permits and Conservation Division.
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA)
To meet NMFS’ NEPA requirements
for the issuance of an IHA to the Navy,
NMFS prepared an Environmental
Assessment (EA), titled ‘‘Issuance of an
Incidental Harassment Authorization to
the Navy to Take Marine Mammals by
Harassment Incidental to a Physical
Oceanographic Survey in the Southwest
Indian Ocean.’’ NMFS provided relevant
environmental information to the public
through the notice for the proposed IHA
(76 FR 71940, November 21, 2011) and
has considered public comments
received in response prior to finalizing
the EA and deciding whether or not to
issue a Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI).
NMFS concluded that issuance of an
IHA would not significantly affect the
quality of the human environment and
has issued a FONSI. Therefore, it is not
necessary to prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement for the issuance of an
IHA to the Navy for this activity. The
EA and FONSI for this activity can be
viewed on NMFS’ Web site (https://
www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/permits/
incidental.htm#applications).
Authorization
As a result of these determinations,
NMFS has issued an IHA to the Navy for
conducting a physical oceanographic
survey off the southern coast of Africa,
provided the previously mentioned
mitigation, monitoring, and reporting
requirements are incorporated.
